Paul Lambert has admitted that Aston Villa are "wary" of Blackpool ahead of their FA Cup third-round meeting with the Championship strugglers.
Lee Clark's side sit bottom in the second tier ahead of their trip to Villa Park later today, but Lambert is taking nothing for granted.
He told reporters: "We have to be wary, they have nothing to lose. They will come out and give it a go and they won't sit in. It's a cup game and will be a breather from the league where they are having a difficult time.
"It's a tough game. You would think they would come and give it a game. I've spoken to Lee a few times and know Alan Thompson who was a good friend at Celtic. We have to make sure we get through it."
Villa currently sit 12th in the Premier League table and are without a win in five games.
